Just got this email from VMC, if any of you are interested.

Hi everyone,

We’re doing something completely new for the GBTN program starting next week, on both Xbox One and PlayStation®4, for which we’ll lift many temporary bans and invite many new testers aboard.

The next project will be available to play throughout the week next week, without a schedule, instructions or obligations – it’s basically the same deal as an open beta, but exclusive to our community and bound by the NDA. There are no compensations offered for this project as it’ll be a “play when you want” deal. Just log in and have fun!

Vouchers will be distributed Monday and the Beta will open from Tuesday to Saturday. Those who haven’t signed an NDA or Addendum yet will be sent one today, please sign and return it as soon as possible in order to receive your code!

We hope you enjoy this new opportunity; you’re welcome to send us feedback concerning your experience during or after the beta week.

Update:

They are still taking sign-ups for all interested!

here's the link again for those who want to sign up

[vypek]

Just refreshed my email after seeing this and saw the email. Thanks for the heads up.

 

[NMFried]

I wonder what it could be.

 

[Afrocious]

I just got into a beta for them, but I can't share details on said game.

 

[Bsigg12]

If you sign up keep in mind you're under NDA and they've been going after people who break it.

 

[Riedinizzo]

A closed beta for the crew starts on the 30th, I'd bet that's all this is.

Also, pretty sure you're breaking your NDA by posting that email.

EDIT: The crew beta happening is public knowledge

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

Well, why would you?

I personally havent gotten asked to do shit yet. I signed the NDA but the PS4 tests came and went and I got nothing.

What's so sensitive about the info in that email? It doesn't divulge anything specific. Its simply a heads up.

Is it confirmed to be The Crew? If so what's the NDA breakage?

 

[V_Ben]

hmm, nothing. emailing to ask.

 

[kingofkingz25]

heard it was for evolve....grain of salt tho

 

[Xaero Gravity]

First NDA I've gotten from them, wonder what this one could be about.

[T-Rex.]

Didn't get an email ;_;

 

[Buzzbrad]

Damn I hope PC gets a beta soon, been waiting a while.

 

[VE3TRO]

I doubt its The Crew beta since that's for people who also applied on the website and it's public. Be shitty if Ubisoft changed it. This beta is open but exclusive to VMC as it seems.

Could be Evolve, Assassins Creed Unity or Far Cry 4.

 

[Reckless Onion]

Probably the crew

 

[statham]

Got my email

 

[VanWinkle]

What is VMC and what is GBTN?

 

[DeviantBoi]

They're legit.

I did a beta earlier this year and got paid some money for my time.

 

[Akai__]

Signed up in February, still haven't got anything, except the welcome E-Mail.

Makes me wonder, if they are even doing PC tests. Maybe this will change, once I get my Xbox One. :/

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

What is VMC and what is GBTN?

Global Beta Test Network.

They outsource beta testers for devs.

 

[kingofkingz25]

What is VMC and what is GBTN?

Company that does game testing for ubi 2k and them

 

[impact]

Never got paid for the test I did so I just said fuck it to the rest of them. Being forced to play bad games and not get paid is no fun.

 

[atomsk]

"no compensations"

So why is it under NDA or somehow different than the closed beta stuff companies do outside of VMC?

In any case it's kinda fucked up I signed up for the VMC shit day one and they never sent an NDA, but now they want free testers and they send one.

 

[Cuphead]

Just signed the NDA, wonder what it could be.

 

[bidguy]

cool. hopefully its not the same game as last time.

edit: lol no payment ? has to be a really good game then

 

[Hero Prinny]

Never got paid for the test I did so I just said fuck it to the rest of them. Being forced to play bad games and not get paid is no fun.

I only got paid for one so far. They really do take their sweet time paying and they like having their test at annoying hours(1am est)
But hey I get to play games so that's cool

 

[Trace]

Never got paid for the test I did so I just said fuck it to the rest of them. Being forced to play bad games and not get paid is no fun.

You might want to contact them about that. I got paid just fine for the last one I did, it just takes awhile.

 

[Rembrandt]

cool. hopefully its not the same game as last time.

I really hope not.

It took forever for me to get paid by them. Did they not reply to your email or something?

 

[Atlas157]

Got mine. I wonder what game it is.

 

[Az987]

I got an email and the NDA. I signed up back in February but never got an NDA then.

 

[woen]

First NDA I've gotten from them, wonder what this one could be about.

Yep me too. I applied during the summer and never heard of them since. We'll see what it is.

 

[Hip Hop]

do you have to fax them the signature or will digital do?

 

[SexyFish]

do you have to fax them the signature or will digital do?

They should email you an NDA which you can sign digitally.

 

[Robbit]

I just got into a beta for them, but I can't share details on said game.

Thanks for sha... wait, no.

 

[Impeccable]

Probably Evolve.

 

[Cuphead]

Probably Evolve.

I hope so!

 

[Eggbok]

Probably the crew

It's not The Crew.

Probably Evolve.

The Evolve beta is exclusive to Xbox One.

 

[mercenar1e]

Probably Evolve.

maybe?

 

[Robbit]

I'm in the same boat, but I don't see what the problem is. Maybe it'll be a stress test of sorts.

 

[ShadowKingpin]

I signed up out of curiosity. Done almost every Alpha & Beta (Closed & Open) since PS2. If I don't like it, I'll never do it again. We'll have to wait and see if I get chosen or not.

 

[Reckless Onion]

It's not The Crew.



The Evolve beta is exclusive to Xbox One.

Then it's ass creed unity.

 

[impact]

It took forever for me to get paid by them. Did they not reply to your email or something?

They did and said I attended it and everything. Just never got anything my paypal, and I know it was supposed to be 90 days after the test but its been way more than that. Not a big deal, I just won't waste my time anymore. Was a cool experience I guess.

 

[Jackbooted]

Wasn't the last VMC thread shutdown because of some shady goings on or something?

 

[BiGBoSSMk23]

^ explain ?

I kinda want it to be Unity, just to get my hands on proper current gen AssCreed.

 

[Raxious]

I really hope not.

They had some issues regarding the payment, as has been explained in an email.

 

[Cess007]

Just got my mail, and i'm about to sign the NDA. Hope is something good

 

[Pennywise]

Wasn't the last VMC thread shutdown because of some shady goings on or something?

No.

People lifted the NDA and nothing good came out of the thread as it looked like a cheap advertisement for a company, so Nirolak closed it.

 

[jordan0386]

Wasn't the last VMC thread shutdown because of some shady goings on or something?

Somebody uploaded footage.

 

[jinxthejiv]

Congrats to the people that got in. Dont break your NDA.

 

[Taker34]

Those mails are confidential, just saying...
